∗ 
When using solid state auto switches, ensure the application is set up so the signals for the fi rst 50 ms are invalid. 
Connect according to the applicable PLC input specifi cations, as the connection method will vary depending on the PLC input specifi cations.
Because there is no 
current leakage, the load 
voltage will not increase 
when turned OFF. 
However, depending on 
the number of auto 
switches in the ON state, 
the indicator lights may 
sometimes grow dim or 
not light up, due to the 
dispersion and reduction 
of the current fl owing to 
the auto switches.
When two auto 
switches are 
connected in parallel, 
malfunction may occur 
because the load 
voltage will increase 
when in the OFF state.
Auto switches with load 
voltage less than 20 V 
cannot be used.
When two auto switches are 
connected in series, a load 
may malfunction because 
the load voltage will decline 
when in the ON state.
The indicator lights will light 
up when both of the auto 
switches are in the ON state.
(Reed)(Solid state)
Example: Load impedance is 3 kΩ.
Leakage current from auto switch is 1 mA.
Load voltage at OFF = Leakage current x 2 pcs. x 
Load impedance
= 1 mA x 2 pcs. x 3 kΩ
= 6 V
Example: Power supply is 24 V DC
Internal voltage drop in auto switch is 4 V.
Load voltage at ON = Power supply voltage – 
Residual voltage x 2 pcs.
= 24 V − 4 V x 2 pcs.
= 16 V
